Goooooaaaaaalll!

As of this morning, I am at 175.5 pounds, which is just half a pound over my goal weight. And since I was actually ~below~ my goal weight yesterday, and celebrated this fact by gorging at my friendly neighborhood Mongolian grill last night, I think half a pound is close enough.

Weight: I’ve lost 30 pounds in the last 11 weeks, or just over 2.5 pounds/week, which is almost exactly what I was shooting for. As the graph above shows, while I wouldn’t exactly want to ski down that slope, it does move fairly consistently downwards. And I’m happy about that. Also of note: the two biggest upward spikes coincide with visits with Amanda’s parents. I don’t think that’s coincidence. ;)

Intake: I averaged just under 1300 calories/day consumed over the last month, which is pretty consistent with the rest of the diet. After exercise is figured in, this gave me just under a 1300 calorie/day deficit. Since a 1300 daily deficit works out to around 2.6 pounds/week lost, I’d say my dashboard calculations are pretty darn accurate over the long term. :)

Exercise: I’ve averaged just over 400 calories/day burned exercising this month. I’m pretty proud of that number, as it’s the equivalent of 3 miles jogged/day. Not that I actually ~did~ jog 3 miles per day. Although with Amanda out of town this last weekend (she was in Indiana for a Dave Matthews concert), I managed 10.6 miles between Friday and Sunday. ;)

So we’re going to go ahead and call this Diet: Accomplished. What does this mean? Well, you’re not going to get weekly Crap Rob Put in this Mouth updates anymore. I’m sure you’ll miss them. Also, I’m going to try to quit using my Dashboard for a while, and I’m not going to weigh myself every day anymore. I want to see if 11 weeks is sufficient time to have developed generally healthy eating habits. Fingers crossed. :)

Also also, I know I promised a more interesting update last week, but last week was busy, so I’m going to try to get one out in the next day or two.
